  • Why do we focus a lot on transition periods?

    Because that's when animals need a lot of resilience
  • 4 kinds of environmental factors to adapt to

    - climate
    - housing system
    - pathogens
    - interactions with other animals and humans
  • What does mild challenge do to adaptive capacity?

    - successful adaptation
    - animal remains healthy and functional
  • What does moderate challenge do to adaptive capacity?

    - increased physiological/behavioural effort
    - performance may decline
  • What does severe or prolonged challenge do to adaptive capacity?

    - adaptive capacity is exceeded
    - maladaptation -> disease, impaired welfare, reduced performance
  • Adaptive capacity varies among ...why? (6 factors)

    Individuals

    e.g. Age, health status, physiological status (eg lactating, growing), earlier experiences, nutrition, social environment
  • Where lies the risk of dys-functioning?

    When there is a mismatch between adaptive capacity and environment
  • Adaptive capacity 'coping resources'

    - genetic predisposition
    - early life experiences
    - current environment
  • How do we match challenges and adaptive capacity?

    - change the adaptive capacity of an animal by genetics, experience and learning
    - facilitate adaptive capacity
  • Three ways to change the adaptive capacity of an animal by genetics, experience and learning

    - genetic selection
    - prenatal effects (via the mother)
    - perinatal and early postnatal
